Kevin Rolland, an Olympic ski halfpipe bronze medalist for France, was seriously injured in a Tuesday crash while trying to break a quarter pipe world record.
Rolland was hospitalized and is in serious and stable condition, according to French reports confirmed by a communications agency reported to represent Rolland.
Specifically, he suffered several fractures, including to his pelvis, according to Le Dauphiné Libéré. The French Ski Federation and the communications agency have not responded to requests for confirmation of that report.
Last week, two-time U.S. Olympic champion David Wise set the world record for highest jump off a quarter pipe, soaring 38 feet.
